Answer is (4) - 4.


The atomic number of Germanium (Ge) is 32 and it is placed in 14th group of periodic table. In the neutral atom, 32 electrons are present. The electron configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p².


Valence electrons are the electrons which are in outer shell of the atom. There are 4 electrons in outer shell of Ge atom at ground state.

How can i find nuclear charge and overall charge while only knowing the atomic mumber, number of protons and electrons?​
Mazyrski [523]

Explanation:

An atom is made up of:

  • Protons which are the positively charged particles
  • Electrons are negatively charged
  • Neutrons carry no charges.

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.

To find the nuclear charge:

    We use the effective nuclear charge formula:

   Effective nuclear charge = Atomic number - number of shielding electrons(non-valence electrons)

The shielding electrons are the non-valence electrons in the inner orbitals.

For example:

  Ne:

          atomic number = 10

          Effective nuclear charge = 10 - (2) = 8+

   Number of non-valence electrons is 2

The effective nuclear charge is 8+

Overall charge:

        Charge = number of protons - number of electrons

  For neutral atoms, the overall charge is zero as the number of protons and electrons are the same.
